Bronze Member Username: MotomazeOnt Canada Post Number: 60 Registered: Sep-06 | wire the neons threw a relay and fuse it.its safer then a damn switch is. u have to be care full with this stuff b/c u could potentionaly cause a fire. in return insurance will not cover it, if it is installed incorrectly |

Silver Member Username: DkchillinVermont Post Number: 292 Registered: Mar-05 | Here is a pretty detailed write up I did for my under dash cold cathodes. The process is basically the same for neons as far as the wiring for the switch and such. I ran a seperate fused power wire for mine just to be on the safe side but plenty of people tap into factory power wires. I took a couple of other steps you could probably leave out as well but this was the most complete and safest method in my opnion. |
